Recovering the Internal Storage Drive<br />
Recovering to out-of-box state (recommended recovery method)<br />
NOTE<br />
Recovering an internal storage drive to its out-of-box state deletes all<br />
partitions on the drive and all information stored in those partitions.<br />
Be sure to save your work to external media before executing the<br />
recovery. For more information, see “Backing up your work” on<br />
page 104.<br />
During the recovery process it is strongly recommended that your<br />
computer be connected to an external power source via the AC<br />
adaptor.<br />
You can recover the original factory image (returning the computer<br />
to its out-of-box state) using the utilities stored on your computer’s<br />
internal storage drive or using recovery DVDs/media, if you have<br />
created such media. To recover using the first method, follow the<br />
procedure below. To recover using the second method, see<br />
“Restoring from recovery DVDs/media” on page 70.<br />
To recover the original factory image using the utilities on your<br />
computer’s internal storage drive:<br />
1 Make sure the computer is turned off.<br />
2 Press and hold the 0 (zero) key on your keyboard while<br />
powering on the computer.<br />
3 If your system offers a choice of Windows ® 7 32-bit or 64-bit<br />
operating system, select one at this time. If not, skip to step 4.
